100236 ENGLISH Log Splitter Location Cont’d. Operation Starting the Engine Cont’d. WARNING ALWAYS use the log splitter for its intended use. The log splitter should only be used to split wood logs, length wise with the grain. NEVER modify, alter or change the log splitter in anyway. Modifications will void the warranty.

ENGLISH 100236 Operation Log Splitter Operation Operation at High Altitude 1. ALWAYS wear ear and eye protection, protective clothing and safety gear. The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio decrease. Engine power and output will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 feet of elevation above sea level. This is a natural trend and cannot be changed by adjusting the engine.
100236 ENGLISH The owner/operator is responsible for all periodic maintenance. WARNING Never operate a damaged or defective log splitter. WARNING Maintenance and Storage Spark Plugs 1. Remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug. 2. Use a spark plug socket (not included) to remove the plug. 3. Inspect the electrode on the plug. It must be clean and not worn to produce the spark required for ignition. 4. Make certain the spark plug gap is 0.7 - 0.8 mm (0.028 - 0.031 in.).
ENGLISH 100236 Maintenance and Storage Cleaning Storage Clear the debris from the beam, wedge and end plate. Use a damp cloth to clean exterior surfaces of the engine and log splitter.
